Description: Founded in 1904, The Journal of Infectious Diseases is the premier publication in the Western Hemisphere for original research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, on the microbes that cause them, and on disorders of host immune mechanisms. Articles in JID include research results from microbiology, immunology, epidemiology, and related disciplines. Published for the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been
combined with another title.

Abstract

Standardized suspensions of KB cells were incubated for 6 hours at 37 C with various doses of purified staphylococcal α and β-hemolysins and then were observed for hematoxylin and Sudan B staining. Histochemical reactions for the following enzymes were performed thiamine pyrophosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, acid and alkaline phosphatases, adenosine triphosphatase, 5'nucleotidase, β-naphthyl acetate and 5-bromo-indoxyl acetate esterases. Enzyme activity was expressed in percentages of cells exhibiting the presence of typical granulations. Different disturbances in enzymatic activities by each toxin were noted. Alpha hemolysin caused significant changes in 5'-nucleotidase activity. Beta hemolysin resulted in cellular changes suggesting involvement of the lipid metabolism. Some implications of these results are discussed.
